All the big 3D Printer suppliers always show off braingears printed as single items. This is to show that even our humble hobby printers are capable of printing a brain gear - all be it in seperate parts for assembly later.

This was heavily inspired by the other brain gear shared here on Thingiverse. The other brain gears I've seen are printed all-at-once by a printer with soluable support material or such. I redesigned everything from the ground up such that it can be printed on my (hopefully coming soon) Makerbot. Assembly might not be possible and I'm thinking there will probably be some breakage.

I'll try to update and get rid of some of the bugs when I get my printer in.

A gear machine in an interesting layout. These are printed to test commercial rapid prototype machines. You can see an example of one in action here: youtube.com/watch?v=h6ozSqo3lfw.

A neat 3D printable model designed to show off the capabilities of 3D printers. Not sure if we can print these *just* yet with a MakerBot, but its a good thing to aim for.
